[JewishHobbit]

That would be a good way to sate the Ghost Rider fans who are begging for a new GR book (like me)....

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Yowza!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, Crain's art is pretty sweet.

 

[euroq]

I didn't notice at first that the Thing ongoing is now a miniseries. Maybe Marvel is just being careful with it, and if it sells well enough it'll become an ongoing book.

 

[Lackey]

Yeah, Crain's art is pretty sweet.

Crain is good, but who's the colorist? ...and I wonder if they used a computer

With Ennis writing, I'm very tempted to pick that up...although I gotta admit, if that was Gaiman's marvel project, I'd be having an orgasm

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Crain's a digital painter, from what I understand. I'll probably pick it up just to see how the angels tie in.

 

[Dan_Slott]

THE THING (launching in Nov.) is an ONGOING title.

Honest. No foolin'. Comin' at you each and every month. NOT a mini. A monthly book. Really. I kid you not. One will come out, another will follow a month later, and so on and so and so on. And so on. And so on and so on. For as long as we can. Yes, it is a regular title. I stand by this statement whole-heartedly, without any reservation. Twenty Two pages of goodness... then-- BAM-- four/five weeks later... Twenty two MORE pages of Benjamin J. Grimm. A book by me and Adrea Divito. Starring the Thing.

...and it'll be fun.

Did I mention it's monthly?

[euroq]

Thanks for clearing that up.

Will it tie to the core FF book in any way?

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Cool! I loves me some Benjamin J. Grimm!

 

[VICTORVONDOOMX]

Thank you, Mr. Slott! I guarantee my readership.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Thanks, Dan. I'm looking forward to it even more. DiVito's Thing, much like his Thor and Bill, is looking great, too. He's got a really smooth style.

 

[euroq]

Was it DiVito who did the art on Brubaker's Spidey What If? I liked that.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yep:

 

[euroq]

Yeah.

I liked the story too, too many what ifs have a miserable ending but this one actually ended on a positive note.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, it was nice. I don't know, I kind of expected a little more because it was Brubaker, but it was still good. The happy ending was refreshing, too.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

if someone gets a chance, please post a pic of Divito's Ben Grimm. (it's six bloody months 'til November, and i can't wait!)

I guess you missed the link I posted earlier.

[TheCorpulent1]

Anyone else disappointed that the FF movie Thing doesn't have his signature brow ridge? It ruins his whole look.

 

[Dan_Slott]

The book will reflect events in JMS and McKone's FF book.

[TheCorpulent1]

I love the random hints Dan pops in to drop. Thanks again.

 

[John Constantine]

I have to admit, those Ghost Rider pics look ****ing awesome


Hopefully, the mini will lead into a regular ongoing for the character

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm really intrigued to see what Ennis does with Ghost Rider. I don't like the fact that he's throwing out past continuity, but I'm still pretty intrigued...

 

[John Constantine]

The art has me pretty intrigued, plus Ennis did pretty well with bringing back the Punisher from relative crappiness. Here's hoping he does the same with GR

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

So does The Thing pic!

So Dan; any old-school "Thing pals" showing up? (Wyatt Wingfoot, Quasar, Thundra, Impossible Man)...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Quasar would be awesome... and I gotta say it: Ben does have a previous run-in with Damage Control, Inc. on record. Any chance of more?
